Barkley didn't get another chance at topping 2,105 rushing yards, but he did match Dickerson's historic 1984 season in another area.

Heading into Week 18, no one will be watching Saquon Barkley and the Philadephia Eagles' showdown against the New York Giants closer than Eric Dickerson. That's right, while Dickerson hasn't taken the field for an NFL game since all the way back in 1993 – which was before Barkley was even born – the Los Angeles Rams legend has maintained the all-time leading single-season rusher since all the way back in 1984 in his second season with the team.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is nipping at the heels of the all-time single-season rushing record — Dickerson’s 2,105 yards, secured with the Los Angeles Rams in 1984 — but the record-holder doesn’t think Barkley’s going to finish the job.

Barkley and some other regular starters will rest vs. the Giants. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said Howie Roseman, Jeffrey Lurie and others, including Barkley, were consulted.

Dickerson's mindset is the same as Barkley's at this point. In 1984, the Los Angeles Rams star lost in the first round of the playoffs to the New York Giants. His record, while special, did not include a Super Bowl ring.

Saquon Barkley is 101 yards away from breaking Eric Dickerson’s single-season ... Barkley won’t play in Week 18’s finale against the New York Giants, per head coach Nick Sirianni.

NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson can breathe easy knowing his single-season rushing record will remain intact for at least another year. The Philadelphia Eagles have announced they'll rest star running back Saquon Barkley in their regular-season finale against the New York Giants, leaving him just short of Dickerson's historic mark.

Saquon Barkley had an opportunity to set the single-season rushing record, needing just 101 yards to pass Eric Dickerson in the season's final game. Barkley stayed at 2,005 rushing yards, as the Philadelphia Eagles had nothing to play for in the final week of the regular season -- having the NFC East title and No.

Jason Kelce, co-host of the New Heights podcast, addressed misleading comments about his views on an NFL playoff game. He clarified the context of his remarks regarding the Houston Texans-Los Angeles Chargers matchup.

Jason Kelce weighed in on whether he wanted to see Saquon Barkley get a chance to break the rushing record or if he should have rested with the Eagles' playoff seed locked up.

Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown, linebacker Zack Baun, offensive tackles Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata were among the notable players who didn’t make it, but they still could get voted to the Associated Press 2024 NFL All-Pro team, which is selected by media members.
